Skyraider AEW1 Royal Navy - A Flight on board HMS Eagle


Recommended Posts

The old boxes should not be left on the shelf.

This one was build OOB. Price in UK pounds 4,50

Remarkeble for some reasons:

1. American build aircraft in Britisch FAA service in the post war era.

2. Given under MDAP conditions to the UK MOD

3. Used under war conditions in the already named Suez crisis.

Regards, Dirk, The Netherlands.

Indeed, it is the ESCI 1/48 kit.

Enjoy.

were skyraiders done in 1/72?

Yes - Magna Models do a 1:72 scale resin RN Skyraider. PM Chris 57 as he can get them/has got them.

I've got one of these and I've considered kitbashing it with a Tamiya Skyraider just so I can benefit from a little better detailing in spots. But honestly, Esci didn't do a bad job at all with the original kit.

Your build looks great BTW!
